PDF202012 pages818 KB
The Refeeding Syndrome (RFS) is characterized by electrolyte and fluid shifts that can lead to organ dysfunction in patients who have been malnourished and are then re-fed. Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening and typically appear within days of re-feeding. The review summarizes current knowledge, including a unifying definition and severity classification proposed by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), and offers practical recommendations for healthcare providers to identify and manage at-risk patients.
